I used to watch this on ION when it was airing.

Got all the events on DVD. MMA on DA BEACH.

Hype trains getting derailed- Nick DA GOAT Thompson (got his shirt) beating Eddie Alvarez.

Eric Pele wrecking Bigfoot Silva, and getting Aleksander Emelianenko up next.

Hot lady submission demonstrations too.

I found them on some antennae channel late night
I think the event were live, maybe taped? and were on a beach in a tropical setting, Great production value IMO. Used to watch it in bed 10PM west coast and the lady wanted to sleep but I had found a brand new promotion that was very interesting so I was locked in and alert.

Hot ring girls
Great fights
Funny anouncing crew
I enjoyed that promotion, very interesting

I did buy the Fedor PPV, it was solid

Lindland also held the ropes lol. Big E fought, White dude “goat”, and maybe Eddie Alvarez or somebody his size that was a real top talent.

ION

It appeared on my TV in the early 2000s late night, I was like hey that is good high level MMA and it is on a fucking beach.?!? Good time.

I never knew they had some shows on an island. I’ve never seen a Bodog because I had no access to it back then. They had a great roster of fighters with some very interesting venues!

Man that was such a fun time to be a fight fan. Lots of fun new promotions at that time around 2006-2009. I wasn’t able to watch back then but I would always read about it on Sherdog and Cage Potato.

This is only a couple of the fights, I think they had fights on 3 differerent days over 2 weeks or something.

Thank you I’ll check this out later when I get some more time!

One of my earliest MMA memories is Eddie Alvarez punching Aaron Riley’s face inside out on Bodog.

I was bummed when Alvarez lost to Thompson a couple fights later
